Fate/Grand Order - Are you my Master?

[nightwyrm]

Ugh...I'm trying to save my coming level up for GudaGuda and I only have around 130K XP to go. Have to spend next two day's worth of APs and not go over...

[Spacewolf]

Did you not do any of the golden apple quests during the Halloween event or does levelling up give you extra points?

[nightwyrm]

I did do all the apple quests and I think I'll get one extra AP when I level, but that's not really the point. I level up before GudaGuda and I'm spending ~130 AP on fairly pointless daily quests while if I level up in GudaGuda, I can spend those on farming it.

so the extra ap is just really nice, and when you get about level 100 the xp needed to get that level up gets dramatically bigger.

I'mma be honest. I'm not excited for Nobu's stats. I have a solid Archer in EMIYA and I'm not complaining there.

No, I'm excited for Nobu as a character. Have you listened to the GUDAGUDA Order Drama CD? Do you know who her VA is?

Have you ever watched Gintama?

Nobu is Kagura. I don't just mean in terms of the voice actress - I mean in terms of the character. Breaking the fourth wall, overreacting, everything. And it is glorious.

I am excited for that. I am excited to have Kagura in my FGO.

I'm glad I saved up my Quartz for a 30 pull on this I got, Zhuge Liang, Alexander, Atlanta, Lu Bu, Ushiwakamaru and a four and five star essence all off one pull. Considering I mainly wanted Zhuge Liang and Alexander I'm pretty happy.

Congrats! Waver fits on pretty much any team you might want to put him on and Atlanta is the only (for another few weeks at least) character that boosts Quick cards on others.

Haven't used Alexander much but Ushiwakamaru is definitely a good one to get too. Ushiwakamaru is my go to Rider considering I don't have any 4+ riders in my Chaldea.

Plus I think GudaGuda has some of, if not all of, the materials needed to ascend Waver too, so you got him at a great time if that's the case.

[Hunter Noventa]

I'm saving my quartz for later, but I did use 5 tickets on the new draw and got another Atalante at least.

Oh, hello free Guda-O essence dropping from the 'story'. You're quite welcome.

[Red Fel]

Is anyone else enjoying the dialogues and names as much as I am?

I am legitimately chuckling at this stuff.

[nightwyrm]

I broke down and did a 10-roll. Didn't get any good servants but got 2x Poster Girl and 1x Launch Order, so at least my farming would be a bit easier.

The story was fun but I had to speed thru it. I'm gonna have to re-read it again tonight.

[NeoPhoenix0]

can't stand the names myself but the dialogue is hilarious.

[Morcleon]

So I rolled a 5* saber and was really really excited until it just turned out to be a second copy of Altera.

I'm 100% a fan of everything in this event.

I have no idea what just happened...but it was all pretty great.

And I've managed to clear everything so far, even the level 50 mission, thanks to having a level 90 herc on my support list.

I guess now it's a matter of figuring out what to farm.

[Spacewolf]

So what do these 3 star exp cards do?

[nightwyrm]

So what do these 3 star exp cards do?

They give a lot of exp for your CEs.

edit: Wait, which 3 star exp cards are you talking about?

[Hunter Noventa]

So what do these 3 star exp cards do?

They are to CEs what embers are to Servants.

[Spacewolf]

Huh I thought the event ones would do something special.

[nightwyrm]

Huh I thought the event ones would do something special.

The event ones (GudaGuda Order, After-party Order, Poster Girl, Guda-o) do increase your drops or H points, but the Okita/Nobu CEs you get are just exp cards for CEs.

[Hunter Noventa]

Is it wrong that I want a Big Nobu servant? The giant mouth laser cracks me up every time.

[ImperatorV]

This entire event is just... Beautiful. The dialogue has had me laughing out loud all day.

Also, I really want Okita now. Guess my hard-won SQ savings are going down the drain...

[Blackhawk748]

Im laughing myself. And now i want Okita even more.

On the plus side my pull was better than my last one, i got a bunch of 4 and 5 star craft essences including GugaGuda Poster Girl and two After Party orders, so that was a decent use of Summoning tickets.

Edit: So i sucked it up and dropped some cash and i got an Emiya out of it. No game, i dont need a third archer. Orion and Nobu are my archers, GIVE ME A SABER!!!

[Callos_DeTerran]

Nine summoning tickets didn't get me Okita, but it did get me one of the event CE's! GRINDING HO!

To be fair, there is a benefit to bringing EMIYA to this event. There's a list of characters who give you bonuses to event points earned, and EMIYA gets you +40%. Nobu is worth 60%, and Sakura Saber is worth 100%; the remaining entries (Medusa, Cu, Meph, Ushi, and Benkei) are worth 20% each. And that's additive.

So, yeah. You may not want EMIYA as an Archer, but keep him at the back of your party for the event point bonus.

I know, but im bumming an actual functional EMIYA from my friend list into this party and i dont have the points to include my EMIYA.

[ImperatorV]

I spent 90 quartz and got two EMIYAs. Why is the rate up four star for this event an archer, when they give you a different, better four star archer for free? I guess when those EMIYA strengthening quests come out I'll have a NPlv2 one, which will be nice. Still want Okita though, and I've dropped below 30 quartz.

I dunno how good the current English EMIYA is, but at least in the Japanese version he's just as great as Nobu.

Pros of EMIYA:

• Has a way of evading enemy servant NPs, while Nobu doesn't
• Better at creating Arts chains
• NP can create lots of stars to spam criticals next turn
• (After empowering Skill 2) His Criticals inflict 100% more damage, meaning 4 times the damage of normal attacks. Combined with his NP and the high star-focus rate of Archers, he's boss on his own

Pros of Nobu:

• Two Extra Damage effects (Riding and Divine). Most Saber servants have the Riding skill
• Better NP damage due to extra damage + NP level 5
• Can benefit entire team's NP rate with Strategy
• Demon King is more reliable than EMIYA's Hawkeye skill in how it also increases star-focus (although EMIYA does better critical damage)

All right I'm having some issues grinding points for the event. The 10 and 20 ap missions don't drop them very reliably, the 30 AP mission is oddly difficult for me to complete, possibly because I don't have any good Sabers of my own to supplement a support with, and while I can do the 40 ap mission, I get less of a bonus because I need to bring a berserk support to do it, and event hen it's not a sure thing. I feel like I'm missing something.

Points grinding is done mostly thru the 1AP golden quest that you can only do once a day. They're pretty easy so just put on all your points bonus servants and CE and find an Okita friend. Just remember to do them everyday! Doing them with all the appropriate bonuses will net you around 1 mil H pts total by the end of the event.

The 10, 20, 40 etc. free quests are mostly for grinding currencies, so you'll want to prioritize +drops CEs for those if you have them. 10AP is for the gourds, 20AP for the bowls and 40AP for the teapots. You can get some H points from them, but do expect the points to be relatively low.

Yeah, only getting 1k or so points from the 40AP is rough. Sadly the only drop-enhancing CE i have is for the Gourds, so I guess I'll work on that.

[Callos_DeTerran]

So someone on the reddit was kind enough to inform me of this so I thought I would spread the news to here.

Do not be super concerned about farming the H-points or the black pots/kettles at this point in time!

We are going to get 40 AP missions as the event goes on (that you can farm!) that will have better black pots/kettle drops by a significant degree and the 1 AP daily missions will get you PLENTY of H-points so long as you have a full point-boosting team (with a friend Okita if you can manage it)..enough to at least put you in the ballpark of getting Nobu to NP 5 without super-grinding.

This is a great time to get the Event CEs from the shop and clear our the silver and bronze drop items from the shop while we wait for the better missions to come our way.
